APMC 3.0: Approximate verification of discrete and continuous time Markov chains
In Proceedings of QEST 2006
Abstract In this paper, we give a brief overview of APMC (Approximate Probabilistic Model Checker). APMC is a model checker that implements approximate probabilistic verification of probabilistic systems. It is based on Monte-Carlo method and the theory of randomized approximation schemes and allows to verify extremely large models without explicitly representing the global transition system. To avoid the state-space explosion phenomenon, APMC gives an accurate approximation of the satisfaction probability of the property instead of the exact value, but using only a very small amount of memory.
